ANNOUNCEMENT                                                          29 April 2019

                         REPORT FOR THE QUARTER ENDED 31 MARCH 2019

                        DEVELOPMENT OF MAKHADO PHASE 1 APPROVED

MC Mining Limited (“MC Mining” or the “Company”) which operates in South
Africa, together with its subsidiaries, hereby provides its update for the
three months ended 31 March 2019, the third quarter (the “Quarter”) of the
30 June 2019 financial year. All figures are denominated in United States
dollars unless otherwise stated. Safety metrics are compared to the preceding
quarter while financial and operational metrics are measured against the
comparable period in the previous financial year. A copy of this report is
available on the Company's website, www.mcmining.co.za.


Salient operational features
-     Three lost-time injuries (“LTIs”) were recorded during the Quarter (FY2019
      Q2: one LTI) at the Uitkomst metallurgical and thermal coal colliery
      (“Uitkomst Colliery” or “Uitkomst”). A number of initiatives were launched
      during the Quarter to reinforce appropriate safety awareness at Uitkomst;

-     Uitkomst Colliery run of mine (“ROM”) coal production of 113,190 tonnes
      (“t”) is 2.2% lower than FY2018 Q3’s 115,750t and the full effect of
      mining cycles implemented during the Quarter will continue to be assessed
      during the June 2019 quarter;

-     Sales of metallurgical and high quality thermal coal of 70,271t, in line
      with the prior year comparative period’s 70,627t;
-   Uitkomst sold 8,315t (FY2018 Q3: nil) of a high ash middlings product
    following the completion of plant modifications during the Quarter;

-   Revenue per saleable tonne declined 14% to $75/t (Q3 FY2018: $87/t) as
    international   coal   prices   were    adversely   affected    by   geo-political
    dynamics that affected Australian coal shipments to China, impacting
    short-term global supply and demand;

-   As expected, no coal was purchased from third parties due to supply
    contracts expiring in FY2018 (FY2018 Q3: 8,838t);

-   Satisfaction of the conditions for the acquisition of the Lukin and
    Salaita   properties   resulting   in   their   transfer to Baobab Mining &
    Exploration (Pty) Ltd (“Baobab”), the owner of the flagship Makhado hard
    coking and thermal coal project (“Makhado Project” or “Makhado”).
                                                                                      
-   Completion of the front-end engineering and design (“FEED”) process for
    Phase 1 of the Makhado Project;

-   MC Mining board conditionally approved the phased development of the
    Makhado Project with construction of Phase 1 anticipated to commence in
    Q3 CY2019 and expected to yield 0.54 million tonnes per annum (“Mtpa”) of
    hard coking coal (“HCC”) and 0.57Mtpa of export quality thermal coal; and

-   Vele coking and thermal coal colliery (“Vele Colliery”) remained on care
    and maintenance during the Quarter.

Corporate and financial features
-   Appointment of Sebastiano (Sam) Randazzo as a non-executive director of
    the Company’s board during the Quarter;

-   Premium HCC prices averaged above $200/t during the period (Q3 FY2018:
    $228/t) while South African API#4 thermal coal prices were adversely
    affected by geopolitical dynamics and average prices for the Quarter were
    $83/t (Q3 FY2018: $94/t); and

-   Available cash at Quarter-end of $4.7 million ($5.4 million at the end of
    December 2018) with restricted cash of $0.03 million.

Subsequent events

-   Coal purchase agreement signed with one of the world’s largest producers
    and marketers of bulk commodities for the export quality thermal coal to
    be produced by Phase 1 of the Makhado Project; and

-   Dismissal of appeals against amendments to Makhado’s   Environmental
    Authorisation, reaffirming the project’s permitted status and
    facilitating the transport of coal by road rather than rail.


David Brown, CEO commented:

“The lack of access to key properties delayed the development of the Makhado
Lite Project for approximately one year. This coincided with management’s
assessment of various alternative strategies to progress the project,
including its phased development.

The significant progress achieved on the Makhado Project resulted in the
Company’s directors conditionally approving its phased development. This
approach significantly reduces the Company’s capital requirements by
utilizing the existing Vele processing plant and together with the completed
FEED process and development of the west pit, moderates execution risk and
shortens the construction time. These measures condense the period for
delivery of saleable coal to market and reflects Makhado’s ability to                                                                                              3
generate significant near-term value for shareholders by taking advantage of
predicted positive future coking coal prices.

The construction of Makhado Phase 1 will make MC Mining the pre-eminent South
African   producer   of   high-grade   metallurgical   coal,   a   key   ingredient
contributing to the manufacture of steel, and trading at a significant
premium to thermal coal. Construction is due to commence in Q3 CY2019,
dependent on the completion of the composite funding plan.

A further Makhado Project key milestone attained during the Quarter was the
purchase of the key Lukin and Salaita properties. This clears a major hurdle
for the development of Phase 2, the previous Makhado ‘Lite’ project, and
results in MC Mining owning all four properties where Makhado opencast mining
and processing operations will take place. The Company is now in a position
to undertake the necessary geotechnical confirmatory drilling for the siting
of the east and central pits as well as the processing infrastructure. Phase
2 is expected to commence in circa CY2022 and will produce an estimated 4Mtpa
of ROM coal.

The integration of Uitkomst underground mining operations continued during
the Quarter and included the optimization of mining cycles. The various
initiatives implemented have yielded adequate progress in ROM coal production
and their effectiveness will continue to be assessed during the June 2019
quarter. Following the pleasing completion of processing plant modifications
during the Quarter, Uitkomst coal sales volumes were supplemented by the
first sales of a high ash middlings product. This will increase overall ROM
coal yields and is expected to add an additional 40,000t of saleable product
per year.”


QUARTERLY COMMENTARY


Uitkomst Colliery – Utrecht Coalfields (70% owned)

Uitkomst recorded three LTIs during the Quarter (FY2019 Q2: one LTI) and
management continued its focus on safety with further training at the
colliery during the period.

Coal produced at Uitkomst is sold into the domestic metallurgical and thermal
markets. The underground mining contractor operations acquired in H1 FY2019
resulted in the integration of staff, assets and systems. The re-organisation
of underground mining operations via the implementation of alternative shift
programmes and improved asset availability yielded adequate progress during
the Quarter and their effectiveness will be with further assessed during the
next three months.


                                                                                 
The ROM coal production was similar to the comparable period in the previous
financial year (113,190t vs. 115,750t) and no ROM coal was purchased from
third parties (FY2018 Q3: 8,838t) due to the expiry of a coal supply agreement
in the prior year. The ROM coal generated sales of 70,271t (FY2018 Q3:
70,627t) comprising 61,956t of low-grade metallurgical coal sales and a
further 8,315t (FY2018 Q3: nil) of high ash (middlings) thermal coal sales.
These high ash coal sales originate from plant modifications completed during
the Quarter, extracting saleable coal from the plant discard and increasing
overall yield of the Uitkomst ROM coal. The colliery continues to evaluate
potential alternative suppliers of third party ROM coal for blending or
processing and the comparable period’s sales includes 7,024t (FY2019 Q3:
nil) derived from purchased ROM coal.

Uitkomst’s revenue/t  was adversely  affected by declining international
thermal coal prices during the Quarter. The API#4 coal price decreased from
an average of $94/t for Q3 FY2018 to $83/t for the Quarter. However the
revenue/t in Rand terms was assisted by a weakening of the ZAR against the
US dollar during the three months. Production costs benefitted from the
inclusion of the high ash middlings volumes which increased overall yield as
well as the weakening of the Rand, declining to $50/t (FY2018 Q3: $74/t).

Makhado Hard Coking Coal Project – Soutpansberg Coalfield (95% owned - 69%
post BEE and Industrial Development Corporation Limited transactions)
                                                                                             
The Makhado Project recorded no LTIs (FY2019 Q2: nil) during the Quarter.

South Africa produces significant quantities of thermal coal but has a very
limited domestic supply of high-quality metallurgical coal and once
developed, Makhado will be the only significant HCC mine in the country. The
project will also provide significant direct and indirect benefits to
communities located in an area with significant unemployment levels and is
expected to create approximately 650 permanent job opportunities.

The previously announced the Makhado ‘Lite’ Project envisaged producing
4.0Mtpa of ROM coal from the east and central pits, yielding 1.6 to 1.8Mtpa
of saleable product. The development of Makhado Lite was delayed for
approximately one year primarily due to lack of access to two key properties
where the east and central pits, processing and other infrastructure would
be located. Management undertook various strategies to secure access and
assessed potential alternative project development plans, including the
phased development of Makhado.

This resulted in the Company’s directors conditionally approving the
development of Phase 1 of the Makhado Project during the Quarter. Phase 1
entails the construction of the west pit and trucking of ROM coal to the
existing, modified Vele Colliery for final processing, significantly reducing
capital funding requirements. The development of Makhado in phases
accelerates the time to market by at least 18 months compared to Makhado
Lite,   achieving  MC Mining’s stated strategy of self-sufficiency while
ensuring continued scalability of the project. The east and central pits
will be developed in Phase 2, essentially the Makhado ‘Lite’ project, in
circa CY2022.

The development of Phase 1 shortens the construction phase, reducing the
period for delivery of saleable coal to market and utilises previously tested
road and rail infrastructure. The accelerated development period is achieved
as no additional confirmatory geotechnical drilling is required for Phase 1
(this was completed in the December 2018 quarter), the existing Vele Colliery
plant is used and the FEED process has been completed.

Phase 1 will generate an estimated 3Mtpa of ROM coal that will be scalped at
Makhado, removing the coarse parting and waste. The resulting circa 2Mtpa of
coal will be transported to the Vele Colliery for further processing at the
modified plant. The Vele plant modifications will facilitate the simultaneous
production of approximately 0.54Mtpa of HCC and 0.57Mtpa of 5,500 kcal export
quality thermal coal that will be transported to the Musina siding for sale.

Construction of the Phase 1 west pit and Vele Colliery plant modifications
will occur simultaneously and take nine months to complete. The construction

                                                                                                   
costs were assessed in the FEED process completed by DRA Global during the
Quarter while Phase 1 mining, processing and transport functions will be
outsourced to experienced third parties who have previously operated in South
Africa. Makhado Phase 1 generates significant near-term cash flows, resulting
in an IRR in excess 45% while the payback of peak funding is less than 2.5
years.

The various work streams required for construction of Phase 1 are underway
and includes finalisation of composite funding arrangements. MC Mining is
considering various debt/equity funding options for the R460 million ($33.5
million*) Phase 1 peak funding which excludes repayment of the existing
Industrial Development Corporation of South Africa Limited loan.

The Phase 1 thermal off-take agreement was concluded in April 2019 with the
signature of a coal purchase agreement with one of the world’s largest bulk
commodity production and marketing companies. The funding arrangements are
expected to be completed in Q3 CY2019 and will facilitate the construction
commencing later in the same quarter.

The delays in obtaining access to the key Lukin and Salaita properties
hindered the development of Makhado Lite as it prevented the completion of
studies to confirm amongst others, the positioning of processing plant
infrastructure. Access was resolved during the Quarter with the transfer of
the key farms to Baobab, ensuring that the Company owns all four properties
required for Makhado opencast mining and processing operations.


Vele Coking and Thermal Coal Colliery – Limpopo (Tuli) Coalfield (100% owned)

The Vele Colliery remained on care and maintenance during the Quarter and no
LTIs were recorded during the period (FY2019 Q2: nil).

No further developments to report during the Quarter.
Greater Soutpansberg Project – Soutpansberg Coalfield (74% owned)

The Greater Soutpansberg Project (“GSP”) recorded no LTIs (FY2019 Q2: nil)
during the Quarter.

The Chapudi, Mopane and Generaal Projects comprise MC Mining’s longer-term
coking and thermal GSP. The GSP contains over 6.3 billion gross tonnes in
situ of inferred coal resources1 and mining right applications for the three
project areas were submitted to the Department of Mineral Resources during
2013. The Chapudi Project mining right was granted in December 2018 and the
Mopane and Generaal Project mining right applications are at an advanced
stage and the Company anticipates that these will be granted in the near
future.


                                                                            
Corporate
Sam Randazzo was appointed as an independent non-executive director MC Mining
during the Quarter. He has over 25 years' experience in the mining industry
including executive director positions of ASX, TSX and AIM listed companies
as well as diverse international operational management experience.


Markets
The average premium HCC price was above $200/t during the Quarter (FY2018
Q3: $228/t) and based on market fundamentals, long-term forecasts continue
to reflect favourable pricing. The API#4 thermal coal price was adversely
affected by geopolitical dynamics impacting short-term global supply and
demand due to a reduction in Chinese thermal coal imports, particularly from
Australia. The average API#4 coal price reduced from $96/t in the December
2018 period to $83/t for the Quarter (FY2018 Q3: $94/t) with a low of $64/t
at the end of March 2019. Thermal coal prices improved during April 2019 and
at reporting date the average API#4 forward price for the June 2019 quarter
was approximately $72/t.
